Though I am typically laborious to the point of being a practicing masochist, I took some time out of my busy daily routine to read through old e-mails that had been piling up in my hotmail account. I can't say exactly how old all of them were (hotmail neglects to add a year to the date they tag on all incoming messages) but I do have to say that I was fairly surprised at how much I have been missing out on lately. For instance, did you know that cargo pants are no longer in style? Judging by the reaction I am imaging that you are having in my head, you are shocked as well. And another thing, not only is Bohemian Rhapsody no longer popular, but it turns out Mike Meyers and Dana Carvey didn't in fact sing it at all (it was sung by a queen! Rue Britannia!). Shocked again.
Well, the gem of the bunch in my e-mail batch was by an anonymous female who claimed to be a huge fan of my livejournal. I was smitten by the first two or three lines that I read. After that, I kind of lost interest, but I skipped down to the end, and the salutation was very congenial. I thought it best to add the e-mail here, not because I am conceded, rather in hope that it will stop the numerous death threats I recieve for continuing to post on this website.
Dear Skoozdag,
I am an ardent reader of your strangely effeminate colloquialisms. Judging by your broken grammar and misspellings, I would like to welcome you to this country with open arms, and I hope that you too can one day become a legal citizen in this wondrous land of the free. Though you have made no mention of it, I assume you toil endlessly in a vegetable field or inside of a produce rendering plant all day, and I appreciate the effort made to put off the few precious hours of sleep you are allowed in a stuffy one room apartment, living with sometimes dozens of other illegal immigrants, just to update your livejournal. (What is Skoozdag Spanish for? I looked it up, but it didn't have a definition)
Your livejournal post, 'The Story of the Magic Wand and the Pink Draped Honey Pot' has given me a renewed will to start again in my chosen profession: beaver hunting. Thanks for reminding me how much fun pelting can be!
I hope to see you often at many super hero movie premieres for years to come,
Anonymous Woman
